I've never heard them called that before. In BC, I've always heard them called beehive burners.

Nice to hear a nearly first hand report. It really does look like it would be a great stopover. Even better than the cabins and food cart in Burns.

My daughter and her husband (pre-babies) have stayed here and loved it.

I’m feeling no regrets about the second growler decision. It’s midweek today, and I look forward to finishing off the red IPA and moving on to the Axe Grinder. I should have done this long ago. Among other things, it’s nice not having to deal with the empties. For years now I’ve just left bags of them in a prominent spot, confident that a canner will quickly swoop them up for the deposit. I don’t think canning is an essential activity now though, so they were starting to stack up.

Glad you can take some enjoyment out of our misfortunes! We’ll see if we can’t arrange a mechanical breakdown at a remote location to keep you amused.

Ha! Good point.

Well maybe at the end of the round they could drive the goat over to Evans Oaks to snack on our blackberry brambles and insidious ivy?

In case you were having any post purchases dissonance, you made the right decision on the second growler. I am a bit envious as growler fills in our area are all closed for now. As well, meant to comment on finding your lost glove - such a great feeling finding something that is thought to have been lost - I absolutely love it. And finally, perhaps a bit strange, but I enjoying reading about how you and other people on their tours overcome the inevitable obstacles that are all part of ride. The dog bite is certainly big and maybe gruesome, but I am glad you include all the Anderson's ups and downs in your blog. It all makes for enjoyable reading.

I don’t know if that’s such a good idea, if goat tipping is anything like cow tipping. With all of that gear on their backs I think they’d have a hard time righting themselves.

That goat looks like it takes its job very seriously. I hope they tip it well!

Thanks for sparing us a picture of the wound! Enjoyed the hole in the sock, though!

Great to see you back on the bike!

Looks likely to me also. I’ll see if I can’t get a photo of one with its wings spread.

Sweet idea! Unless Andrea warns me that it might be toxic, I’ll pop one in my mouth the next time we’re out this way and let you know.

That's cool you got to talk with David.

Always nice to hear about encounters that soften our initial perceptions of people.

I've always wondered where popcorn came from!

This looks like it might be one of the caramel corn subspecies?

Thanks for the concern, Jen. The leg is doing just fine. It just takes some time to grow a new skin. I don’t need to go back in again unless something unexpected happens, such as my foot falling off my leg. Surprisingly it’s not at all painful, even when I wash it with soap and water.
